My New Turbo Fire HIIT Room – How Cool Is That?

By On December 3, 2010 Comments Off

I love my Beachbody workouts, especially since all you need for most programs is a dvd player and a tv. You do not need a lot of equipment or a lot of space. I am thrilled to have a spare bedroom converted into what I call my HITT room though. I now have all my Beachbody programs in one place along with bands, mats, eating guides and other fitness training aids.

I am not sure where HIIT originated in the fitness industry. I only know that is stands for high intensity interval training and is the foundation of Chalene Johnson’s Turbo Fire program. I found that I enjoyed using puzzled grid lock mats to help take some of the shock out of the plyometric exercises in the program. That is what ultimately led to the creation of my own personal HIIT room.

My HIIT room is equiped with my computer and dvd player. I added a couple of small speakers to take advantage of the fabulous music in the Turbo Fire program. The whole floor is covered with half inch mats that I keep down. A doggie gate keeps my four legged friends at bay when I am not in the room. I have my bands organized on hooks and my selectec weights are positioned for ease of use.

I also put up a couple of motivational posters as well as a calendar and schedule for workouts. There are two more important additions that I think help tremendously and would recommend for adding to your workout area.

First, I have a picture of my family. I have a large family and all of us are actully in this picture. We all look happy. When I am trying to work through a move or a stretch, that picture gives me just a little push….a little accountability…a whole lot of encouragement.

The second thing is a mirror. I have three mirrors in my HIIT room, but I am talking about one mirror in particular. It is a mirror sets on the floor and only displays from about the chest down. It is great for floor work but also for checking form.

One of the hardest things about yoga or doing any kind of back or hamstring exercises is learning what a “flat back” feels like or what having your body in two demensional alignment feels like in some of the warrior poses. Having a mirror in this position helps you be your own personal trainer.

I am looking around at my new space and smiling. I know I will enjoy all of my Beachbody workouts in my HIIT room. I am starting a hybrid Turbo Fire and Chalene Extreme workout beginning Monday. After the first twelve weeks, I think I will hybrid in some P90X.

The new P90X is coming out next year. If you want a taste of the new P90X, try one of the current P90X One on One dvds. The new P90X will be based on those workouts.

By the way, Beachbody has a special deal on P90X One on One right now. You can get your first dvd for one penny. Try out Tony Horton and see if you are ready for Horton style training. LOL Keep pressing play! We all have dreams. Will you go after yours?


Get TWO Free P90X Workouts

By On August 19, 2010 Comments Off

Get two free P90X workouts so you can really “bring it” with Tony Horton. These free bonus workouts are not available from the Beachbody website or by calling the toll free infomercial number. They are only available to customers who order P90X from a Team Beachbody Coach like me. You still get the same full P90X program, but you will also get two bonus workouts.

If you have done your research on 90PX, you have probably heard about Tony Horton’s 92 minute P90X Yoga X. It is one of those workouts Xers both love and hate. Never have I broke a sweat doing yoga like I do when I do Yoga X.

Many P90X graduates and Xers have chatted in length (no pun intended) about the length of P90X Yoga X. I guess Tony and Beachbody heard us loud and clear because one of the bonus workouts when you order P90X from a coach is a yoga workout called Fountain of Youth.

Fountain of Youth has all of Tony’s favorite yoga moves but ini less time. You will still have to work hard and will still get a great workout, but the duration of the workout is shorter. That makes it a good mix in when you are short on time.

The other bonus workout is called Mammoth UML (upper, middle, lower). It is a full body workout designed for the traveler. I would have loved having this workout when I went on my cruise last year.

These two bonus P90X workouts have a $40 value, but they will automatically come with your P90X when you take advantage of ordering from a coach. This is the best deal on P90X available anywhere.

If you already have P90X but would like a shorter Tony Horton yoga workout, you might want to try Patience Hummingbird. This is one of the One on One workouts from Volume II. I enjoy the intensity of the workout but sincerely appreciate the shorter yoga session.


Tony Horton P90X One on One Volume 3 Training Ground for P90X:MC2

By On August 14, 2010 Comments Off

Yes. The sequel to Tony Horton’s P90X Extreme Home Training System has a scheduled release date in late 2011, but you can get into the action now! Volume III of the Tony Horton One on One series is the training ground for production of the new 12 dvd extreme training program.

Volumes I and II of Tony Horton’s One on One series brought P90X graduates a new crazy only Tony extreme workout each month. The workouts take place in Tony’s home gym. He does the exercises. There are no other participants. It is what Beachbody calls raw with the man himself.

Volume III introduces quite a bit of change, so get ready P90X grads! The Tony Horton One on One series is now called P90X One on One. It is a program designed for those who have already gone through the P90X program.

It is important to already have the basic exercises in P90X down before going on to P90X One on One. You need to already understand nutrition, warming up, stretching as well. This is a graduate program that builds on your P90X foundation. It is a continuation and improvement of the One on One series.

Unlike the P90X program, it does not come with a Food Guide or workout schedule. Most graduates use the P90X exercise schedule and plug in appropriate One on One workouts as they receive them.

P90X One on One workouts are almost twice the length of the first two volumes of One on Ones. The workouts will be 50 – 60 minutes in length – closer to what P90X graduates are used to from the XP90 dvd workout program.

Volume III is still unscripted and uses the science of muscle confusion to prevent boredom, lessen injuries, and keep your body working toward your fitness goals. Oh, and you will still get some free stuff along the way. The August workout includes free dog tags with a One on One engraving.

The August workout is actually the second disc. It is named ARX2. You guessed it… the new Ab Ripper! Ab Ripper X to a new extreme. It is twice as long as the original P90X Ab Ripper X. Ouch!

The first disc in Volume III is Chest, Back and Balls. The exercises in this workout are based on body weight. No bands or weights are required. The balls in the title refer to exercise balls by the way. (smile)

P90X One on One works like a magazine subscription. You get a new disc to add to your collection each month. It arrives automatically to your mailbox every month. You are automatically invoiced each month and pay as you go. The regular price for a workout dvd is $19.95. As a coach, your discount brings this price down to $14.95 per dvd.

Back to the “testing ground” I mentioned at the beginning of this post. P90X One on One workouts are going to be used to create and refine the workouts for P90X:MC2. What is cooler than that is the casting for the P90X sequel will consist primarily of Team Beachbody Coaches.

As a coach who purchases all 12 P90X One on One Volume III dvds by July 2011, you will get a 50% discount code for P90X:MC2. Even if you start your subscription now and add your missing volumes by July of next year, you will still qualify to get this special P90X sequel discount.

One more thing P90Xers….remember P90X Yoga X? You know the 92 minute power yoga that we all whine about in the begining and grow to love as we master the workout? Well, there will not be a 92 minute yoga workout in Volume III. Because of the feedback on “time” from P90X grads, there will actually be two dvds. The yoga is 60 minutes, and there is a separate stretch dvd. If you want to do extended yoga workout, you can work both dvds back to back. It is now your choice!


Are You Doing the XP90?

By On July 24, 2010 Comments Off

I was recently asked if I was doing the XP90 because I was sporting my gray P90X shirt. It’s amazing to me that someone can read P90X right off your shirt and ask if you are doing the XP90. I was amused by it. I amused even more by the number of people who know about this awesome Beachbody home fitness workout program. I think part of this is due to Beachbody’s incredible advertising online and through their national infomercials. The other part is from word of mouth because P90X is like no other workout ever put on the planet.

I wore my shirt on a “poker run” one weekend and started up a lot of conversations. (By the way, a poker run is motorcycle ride event to raise money for a non-profit.) At one of our stops, I got into a conversation with a young couple who was doing P90X together. They had some friends that were also getting fit with 90PX. They were so excited that I felt like we were family in a way – fellow P90Xers.

I have seen other reactions to P90X as well. We walked into a restuarant at the end of the day and had a young waiter who was fairly tall and overwieght. He said he tried P90X for about a week and quit. All he had to say about the program was negative. I wanted to ask him if he had bought bootleg dvds and just tinkled with the workouts. I wondered if he had the exercise guide and the nutrition guide, if he listened to the get started dvd. I doubted it. This man was not committed. In my basic training, we called this type of person a SIE – self initiated elimination. He gave up on himself, not the program.

I have a friend who loves doing the P90X Yoga X workout from her husband’s program but dispises the rest of the P90X. This is a fit woman, but she just thinks Tony Horton is too quirky. He is a little goofy but obviously, this keeps thousands of people pressing play and pressing hard for results.

I know a few people at work who mention the program every once in a while. I think they might be intriqued but intimidated by the boot camp style exercises. These are usually overweight, middle aged guys who dream of their high school days. They usually know someone who has gotten results from P90X but just have not made the commitment themselves, yet.

I guess there are at least three other groups I could talk about. We cannot forget about what I call the lifers. These are Xers who have done more than one “round” of P90X. They may supplement their X workout with other extreme programs such as Insanity or TurboFire, but their main program is P90X. P90X+ and P90X One on Ones probably compliment their workout libraries. They are all about Tony Horton and the “X”.

Then, there are the folks who go through P90X one time. They may or may not get through the whole program. They see results but do not make the necessary lifestyle changes to keep their results and continue to improve and maintain good health. Their P90X sits on a shelf collecting dust. They might not have even done one workout yet even though they think about it often.

I guess I would be included in the last group. I started on Tony Horton’s P90X Extreme Home Fitness Training System. I now mix in P90X with other Beachbody programs in my workout schedule. P90X helped me get on track. It was a great foundational program for me that I highly recommend for anyone who is motivated by athletic, boot camp style training.
